LPC #4 - AdamBrome - VELOCICOPTOR

adam

He's half Velocirator, half attack-chopper... he's.... VELOCIRAPTOR.

He' weighs in at exactly 480 tri right now, enough space to add some stuff in for the beauty shot.

Concept by a co-worker & friend of mine, Jesse Turner. We came up for the idea last night and I've managed to model, unwrap, and texture him to about 90%. I have a few things left to do before I post the complete shots so please check out the renders.





First time I've even tried to attempt a character in 3 years !

Sage

Looks cool.

Good start Adam. Cool concept.

MAUL0r

nice. looks pretty dangerous.. question is, could it defeat the Mydrant's water blast!?

jouste

hey all, i'm new here and the scribbles are my fault. i had alot of fun building these images last night. it was great working with so much freedom and i really think adam got the model together really effectively and fast. i look forward to seeing that diffuse.

thanks

vahl

wait wait wait...

Adam..

lill' bromester...

Mr I'm an environment artist...

is making a character...

the world we know is coming to an end.


great concept tho, nice proportions there dude

adam

fucking character art, boo....

Slum

characters are just curvy environments.. but yes, agreed. :P

adam

Managed to reduce is by 20 triangles, woo.

jouste

oh man, great job. this is the first i've seen of anything past the gray wireframe. im really impressed. strong work on the scales and the caution tape is a sweet addition.

the rocket with the smoke really pulls it together.

super job.

what kind of issues did you run into with the map size?
did you like working this low?

Joao Sapiro

hmm the texture could have alot more detail, right now it is too plain , more shadows, more color on the metal, something to give it more life;)

rooster

yeah I'd like to see it on 100%illum with some drawn in shadows, black shading is sucking some life out of the (cool) model

adam

johny, i may go back in and do an additional shadow pass and while I am in there and toss on some colour.

rooster, good point fella. I didn't particularily like it at full-bright as I wanted to do the env map we were allotted for this challenge. Once I do the above mentioned additions it should be randy.

thanks!

rooster

I think you just want an env map so you can sneak an environment into the challenge

adam

Shh

adam

Small update.

A couple of people I showed were confused about the rocket coming out of his launchers so I pulled it out a bit.
